[U/C] 88 O'Connell Street | 63m | 13, 13 and 15 Levels | Mixed Use

The initial appeal against the development was launched by a North Adelaide resident, who now no longer lives there as she has moved to Queensland. Most likely the case will get thrown out of court as a result.

NIMFBY?

Not In My Former Backyard

So the apartments start at $1m

I thought these things needed a 25% component of Affordable housing?

Developers Update;

We are heading toward an incredibly exciting time for Eighty Eight O’Connell with just eight weeks until construction starts!

That means you have just 60 days to visit our Display Suite before it is removed to make way for the start of construction in early April.

This timeline was further confirmed earlier this week when, as expected, the Environment, Resources and Development Court dismissed an attempted legal challenge against the project’s development approval.

The showroom is only open for another day or so before it is demolished/removed to “allow construction to commence” according to advertising for this.

Construction has started on this, can't believe this is finally happening.

[Smithy84]

Anyone know who the builder is?

In the past 30 years, it's gone from a fenced off piece of grass to an unfenced off piece of grass to now, a fenced off piece of dirt... Once that crane is up, I will believe development is legitametly happening.

After 30 years, the Le Cornu site in North Adelaide is finally being redeveloped, and another landmark is coming down

It has taken three decades but work is finally starting on the former Le Cornu site in North Adelaide – with the demolition of another Adelaide landmark to follow.

The first of two key Adelaide City Council projects totalling $650m is about to become reality, with site works starting this week on the former Le Cornu site at North Adelaide.

Lord Mayor Sandy Verschoor will attend an official sod turning ceremony to mark the start of a $250m redevelopment of the site, which has remained vacant for more than three decades.

The project is a joint venture between the council and property developer Commercial & General to build three high-rise apartment towers above a two-storey podium containing specialty shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, commercial offices, consulting rooms and an outdoor plaza.

C&G chief executive Trevor Cooke said a display apartment on the corner of O’Connell St and Archer St was being dismantled to allow excavation of a three-level basement carpark to begin.

“Major earthworks will commence within days, putting us another step closer to delivering this transformational project for Adelaide,” he said.

Mr Cooke said the project was expected to create 430 construction jobs, with completion expected in late 2025.

Work also is scheduled to start within weeks on the demolition of the Adelaide Central Market Arcade, which will become the site of another joint venture involving the council and a private developer, ICD Property.

The site’s major tenant, Coles, has announced it will close a supermarket next to the arcade on May 22, with other tenants due to vacate the site by early June.

Three towers containing apartments, offices, a creche, boutique hotel and outdoor terrace will be built above an expanded Adelaide Central Market, with construction of the $400m project, Market Square, expected to be completed by late 2025.

ICD Property managing director Matthew Khoo said there had been strong interest in the project, with only 14 out of 251 apartments and a $10m penthouse atop a 37-storey tower still available.

“We’re thrilled to see Market Square has drawn the attention of those seeking unparalleled investment opportunity and luxury lifestyle,” he said.

Preliminary site works are expected to start later this year on a third commercial development involving the council and Australian data centre operator, NEXTDC.

The company will build a data centre on land currently used for the city beach volleyball site and Pirie St-Flinders St U-park. Ms Verschoor said the three projects would “deliver hundreds of jobs and hundreds more residents to the city and North Adelaide”.

“It’s hard to recall a more exciting period of development in the City of Adelaide with these three truly city-shaping projects nearing construction start dates,” she said.

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing these go up.

Quite a few other projects in the city that they should have mentioned as well, truly exciting times for Adelaide.

That are also joint ventures with the Adelaide City Council? Or just developments that are happing in the commercial space? Because this article is very much about just the council partnered joint venture developments.

Yeah sorry, not joint ventures with the city council. On second thought the projects I am thinking of shouldn't be included in the article. Exciting times nonetheless.
